IMO there are many to go before Newman. At least he will tackle.
It's the soft ones I can not take- in order of softness
Ellis
Ellis
Ellis
Grigg
Houli

To come in place of them-
Hopefully Lids
Foley, I'm not as convinced he has finish as most, the 3 quarters in 3 games isn't enough for me to make a educated opinion. Give him a go for a couple of games and not as a sub!
Knights if fit if not Lennon. And if Lennon play him forward FFS!

Have to say big tone in the "softness" stakes (and I hate using that word) of the last 2 games in particular there is one clear standout and he should be dropped but he wont be because he is a favourite and that's Ellis

He is currently playing in "no mans' land 
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

Given our seconds play tomorrow and with only a 4 day break, I very much doubt we will have many changes sadly.

Jackstar is back!!!

Big question WP- do you think he can turn it around? His softness that is. I seriously don't think he can. I'm not saying the kid cannot play a bit but IMO he will always be that bloke that will be the weak link when it comes to pressure and tackling. He is Grigg mk2
I know it's harsh and I know he is still young but I bet you we will be talking about the same thing with him in 5 years time.

Big Tone I'm starting to see what you're seeing regarding Ellis. :help

Won't get dropped.

Can I ask what Titch Edwards is doing in the square at centre bounces? :banghead

Titch is in the centre square to make sure we turn it over to the opposition,saves farting around later on in the play.

Yes rather than draw out a play with an inevitable scrimmage, lack of skill, missed opportunity and eventual loss of control resulting in an eventual clean spread and take away by the opposition, Dimma and the boys give themselves a breather by putting Titch in there knowing full well the end result. That is what I call proactive management of resources.

Azza for sure. Has more potential to upset and infuriate the fans as a quick fix solution.
Azza is a lock and he'll come in for Gordo or Lloyd. :thumbsup

:lol I laughed. Genius. Means we can just blame one player too rather than watching 21 blokes butcher it. (I left Vickery out because you have to get the ball to butcher it)
